World’s greatest stretch

Why all the “fad diets” secretly work
I did Paleo for a month.
Lost 5-10 pounds.
But I would have lost that weight on Keto.
Or Mediterranean. Or Whole30. Or Atkins.
There’s no magic sauce in these fad diets.
Fad diets are good at 3 things.
Clear lists
Each diet gives you a list of eat this//don’t eat this.
Decisions are automated.
Clean eating
Each diet focuses on single-ingredient, whole foods.
Processed foods are eliminated.
Controlled calories
Each diet cuts out foods with the heaviest calories.
Calories are curbed.
This is good news.
As long as these 3 things are in place, you will lose weight.
🔎 Finds
Two reasons: cost & stomach issues.
Ending GLP-1’s within a year often causes weight regain.
Wish I found this sooner.
This stretch does it all.
Rogue has become one of my favorite kettlebell brands for 2026.
They are always stocked. Quality is high. Grip feels good.
Lose 10-15+ lbs in 40 days
(or your money back)
No gym needed.
Just a simple process at home.
3x/week. 30-min workouts.
With one kettlebell (which is included).
Be strong,
Don
